Greykin
3 of a Kind
Once upon a time, before Greykin lost his damn mind and bought ALL the things...he was a newb that was told repeatedly to "BUY SAMPLES". As unsatisfying an answer as that was to him at the time, it ended up being excellent advice. What will appeal to you as a new chipper is 1000% subjective and value is completely in the eye of the beholder.
Therefore, BEHOLD! The best sample rack EVER (well, since the last time I went down this hyperbolic path
)
Price = $120 Shipped
You see, the hard sell with samples for a new person is..."Ok, I spent money on samples and now it seems like a waste because WTF do I do with these now that I've learned my preferences? Hopefully these are the answer...because they're not only samples that will show you many things, but they're also the start of a pretty decent shuffle stack collection, if you're into that kind of thing. These won't really help you find the sets that are aesthetically pleasing to you, but there are some good chips here, and with them you will get a chance to experience the differences between the following aspects of chips to form your own opinions: (each list goes left to right, top row then bottom row)
Manufacturers and Molds:
1. Paulson THC (top hat and cane) -- Unidentified
2. Paulson RHC (reverse hat and cane) -- Seven Mile
3. Paulson House molds -- Resorts World
4. Abbiati (no mold, higher end Italian plastic/ceramic) -- Park Place
5. China Clay (from apachepokerchips.com) -- Majestic
6. CPC H-mold -- Key West
7. B.C. Wills LGK (large greek key) -- Unidentified/monogrammed
8. B.C. Wills SGK (small greek key) -- Ponce de Leon
9. Matsui (no mold, higher end Japanese plastic/ceramic) -- Radisson
10. Ceramic (no mold dye sublimation printed from brpropoker.com) -- Unidentified
Material:
Compression clay - 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8
China Clay - 5
Plastics - 4, 9
Ceramic - 10
Size:
39mm - 1-9
43mm - 10
Labeling:
Hotstamp - 1, 7
Inlay - 2, 3, 6, 8
Sticker - 4, 5, 9

The Fine Print:
-I will generally respect dibs order, but larger purchases will usually be prioritized over smaller. If you want a couple barrels while someone else wants the whole rack, well...it is what it is.
-Paypal FF - this is the way. If you really want PPGS we can go down that road but the 3% is on you.
-Shipping will be actual cost for USPS flat rate mailers. (within CONUS)
-I'll ship internationally if you want, but insane shipping costs belong to the buyer and my responsibility for the chips ends when I hand them to the shipper.
-Pictured Chipco chip racks are not included in the sale. If you buy a rack of chips or more they'll come in Warneke boxes...if you buy barrels they'll probably come in bubble pack & padded envelopes.
-In general, just don't be a dick. We're all in this for fun...if there's something you don't like about my sales then simply move on. There's plenty to choose from here on PCF.
